Help Request
« on: 21 April 2015, 11:39:06 »
Hi guys.

Is there anyone around who could fit an alternator for me?

I can't afford to take my miggy to the garage as they want £343 for the job.

I'm a bit stuck as I bought some furniture off eBay for my new house and I can't collect it.

Can anyone help a damsel in distress?

Thanks very much. :y

Its actually a 120amp alternator so will fit ,unlike listing which states its a 100amp.

Why waste money if James has offered you a FOC unit ?

I don't think James can do the job due to work commitments so I won't see him to get the part.

Understand.

Might be far cheaper getting the old unit removed and having it tested.Had a fault with mine last year and took it off and to old school auto electricians shope local.Guy tested it and confirmed regulator pack was faulty and replacement would cost £28=50 and when I had fitted it take it back and he will confirm all charging correctly.

Took about 1 hour to remove old unit...20 mins to replace regulator ..then another 1 hour to replace ..total cost less than £30 and a very straight forward job.Didnt even need to lift car on jack as you can remove the terminals at the back once mounting bolts are removed and you can swivel unit around enough.

Honestly its really straight forward and sure within your ability ...especially if cash is tight  ;)

Errr  where does £300+ come from? The last one I had (on the 2.6 about 12 months ago) was £164 exchange from VX.
